On prison budget cuts: "We have to make sure the rapists and murderers sacrifice like everyone else" (referring to budget sacrifices that education and social security also had to take).
On double-bunking prison cells: "two hots and a swell new roommate with a whole bunch of tattoos."
If inmates don't like Rep. Seifert's proposal to cut meal plans, they can go "eat a tablespoon of lard." (this article is awesome because "Seifert acknowledged Friday he had received letters from inmates, including one that reportedly made a reference to the inmate and legislator sharing a 'can of Crisco' when the offender got out of prison," but Seifert stood his ground and his prisoner-depriving bill)
More on cutting back prisoners' meals: If it's OK for college kids, I don't know why it's not OK for cop killers, murderers and rapists to go with two fewer meals on weekends, he said.
I'm not so sure that the inmate was talking about eating the Crisco.
